Ingredients
Bars
- one package Krusteaz Butter Vanilla Sugar Cookie Mix
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
Frosting
- one 14-ounce tub store bought whipped cream cheese frosting
- OR
- 6 ounces cream cheese softened (lite okay)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
- 2 drops red food coloring or as necessary for desired color
- about 3 to 4 tablespoons Valentine's Day themed sprinkles
Instructions
- Bars – Heat oven to 350F, line an 8×8-inch pan with aluminum foil for easier cleanup, spray with cooking spray; set aside.
- To a large bowl add all the cookie mix, egg, butter, and mix with a handheld electric mixer until combined; dough takes a couple minutes to come together.
- Turn dough out into prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula as necessary.
- Bake for about 24 to 26 minutes, or until center is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Allow bars to cool completely in pan on a wire rack before frosting.
- Frosting – To a large bowl, add the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, salt, and beat with a handheld electric mixer until smooth.
- As desired, add the red food coloring. I was going for a pale pink and added 2 drops. Add slowly and mix well after each drop or two.
- Turn frosting out over the bars and evenly sprinkle with sprinkles before serving. Bars will keep airtight at room temp for up to 4 days or in the fridge for up to 1 week. I am comfortable storing frosted items at room temp but if you’re not, store in the fridge.
